"President Obama's a good friend of mine, and I'd just like to think about him and, you know, I know -- you know Rush Limbaugh and a lot of jackasses give him a hard time right now. They always trying to divide and conquer the country. They've already ruined the country, and now he's trying to save the country, and I want him to keep his head held high." --Former NBA All-Star Charles Barkley, speaking from prison while serving time for a DUI conviction.

"So you see, Obama has his erudite supporters from the elite left wing of professional sports, Charles Barkley. So it's not unfair out there. We'll play others and their sound bites in their brilliance and their well spokenness, how they support President Obama, who is just trying to save the country. By the way, Charles, he does hold his head high. He holds his head higher than the teleprompter. It's a speaking technique."
